Mastering Fraction Multiplication

Avery has 2/3 of a chocolate bar, and she wants to share it equally with her friend Kai. If they decide to multiply the amount of chocolate each will get by 4/5, how much chocolate will each of them have?

• 6/15

• 8/15

• 4/5

• 10/15

Answer explanation

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and the denominators: (2 * 4) / (3 * 5) = 8/15. Thus, the correct answer is 8/15.

Liam has 7/8 of a pizza and he wants to share it with his friend Arjun. If they decide to take 3/4 of what Liam has, how much pizza will they have after sharing? Simplify the result.

• 7/4

• 14/32

• 21/16

• 21/32

Answer explanation

To multiply 7/8 by 3/4, multiply the numerators (7 * 3 = 21) and the denominators (8 * 4 = 32). This gives 21/32, which is already in simplest form. Thus, the correct answer is 21/32.

Isla has 5/6 of a chocolate bar, and she wants to share it equally with Sophia, who has 2/3 of another chocolate bar. What is the product of the amount of chocolate Isla has and the amount Sophia has?

• 1/2

• 3/4

• 4/5

• 5/9

Answer explanation

To find the product of 5/6 and 2/3, multiply the numerators (5 * 2 = 10) and the denominators (6 * 3 = 18). This gives 10/18, which simplifies to 5/9. Thus, the correct answer is 5/9.

Benjamin has 9/10 of a pizza and he wants to share it equally with Mia. How much pizza will each of them get?

• 3/10

• 1/5

• 9/5

• 9/20

Answer explanation

To multiply 9/10 by 1/2, multiply the numerators (9 * 1 = 9) and the denominators (10 * 2 = 20). This gives 9/20, which is already in simplest form. Thus, the correct answer is 9/20.

William has 3 1/2 bags of apples. If he buys 2 more bags, how many bags of apples does he have in total?

• 5

• 8

• 6

• 7

Answer explanation

To multiply 3 1/2 by 2, first convert 3 1/2 to an improper fraction: 7/2. Then, multiply: (7/2) * 2 = 7. Thus, the correct answer is 7.

Anika is baking cookies for a school event. She needs to calculate the product of 4 1/4 cups of flour and 3 1/2 cups of sugar for her recipe.

• 14 7/8

• 15 3/4

• 12 1/2

• 10 1/4

Answer explanation

To calculate the product of 4 1/4 (which is 17/4) and 3 1/2 (which is 7/2), multiply: (17/4) * (7/2) = 119/8 = 14 7/8. Thus, the correct answer is 14 7/8.

Ethan has 5/2 of a pizza and he wants to share it with Emma. If they decide to take 3/4 of what Ethan has, how much pizza will they have?

• 5/4

• 15/8

• 10/8

• 3/2

Answer explanation

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and the denominators: (5 * 3) / (2 * 4) = 15 / 8. Thus, 5/2 multiplied by 3/4 equals 15/8, which is the correct answer.

Olivia is baking cookies and needs to multiply her recipe. If she wants to multiply 1 1/3 cups of sugar by 2 2/5, how much sugar will she need in total?

• 2 1/2 cups

• 3 3/4 cups

• 4 3/10 cups

• 3 1/5 cups

Answer explanation

To multiply 1 1/3 (which is 4/3) by 2 2/5 (which is 12/5), multiply the fractions: (4/3) * (12/5) = 48/15. Simplifying 48/15 gives 3 1/5. Thus, the correct answer is 3 1/5.

Mason has 3/5 of a pizza, and he wants to share it equally with Grace, who has 5/6 of another pizza. What is the product of the amount of pizza Mason has and the amount of pizza Grace has?

• 2/5

• 1/3

• 1/2

• 3/4

Answer explanation

To find the product of 3/5 and 5/6, multiply the numerators (3 * 5 = 15) and the denominators (5 * 6 = 30). This gives 15/30, which simplifies to 1/2. Thus, the correct answer is 1/2.

Harper has 2/3 of a pizza, and Aiden brings over 1 1/2 pizzas for a party. If they combine their pizzas, how much pizza do they have in total? Simplify the result.

• 2

• 1

• 1/2

• 3/4

Answer explanation

To multiply 2/3 by 1 1/2, convert 1 1/2 to an improper fraction: 3/2. Then, multiply: (2/3) * (3/2) = 6/6 = 1. Thus, the simplified result is 1.
